How to answer: “Do you have any questions for us?”
What they’re actually asking
The interview is still running. "No, I think you covered everything" ends strong candidacies, because zero questions signals zero real interest. Sharp questions do what no answer can: they show how you think when nothing is scripted.
How to structure your answer
Bring three prepared questions that prove you're already thinking like an employee: how success is measured, what breaks the team's velocity, what the last person in the role got right or wrong. Ask a follow-up on something said earlier in the interview; it proves you listened. Skip anything Google answers in five seconds.
Example answer
“Three I'd bring: 'What would the first 90 days need to look like for you to call this hire a win?' 'What's the biggest thing slowing the team down right now?' And earlier you mentioned the migration eating half the roadmap: 'How is the team protecting new-feature work while that lands?'”
What sinks people
- "No questions, you covered it all" — the interview's quietest fail
- Opening with vacation days and perks before you have an offer
- Asking things the company's homepage already answers
